Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flow control valve, preventing hysteresis of a needle valve to easily control the flow rate. <P>SOLUTION: This flow control valve 10 is put in the connecting state between an upstream pipeline and a downstream pipeline not shown in figures to thereby regulate the passing quantity of a fluid, and the valve is formed by assembling a valve member 30 and a valve seat member 40 to a casing 20. In this flow control valve 10, in both cases of the valve opening operation and the valve closing operation, the valve member 30 is regulated from causing a very small displacement due to a clearance when upward energizing force is applied thereto from a pushup spring 60, so that in an engagement part 31B, the vertical movement of the valve member 30 is performed with the upper side surface of a male screw and the lower side surface of a female screw always abutted on each other not to generate a difference between the rotating position of the rotary part 31 and the height of the valve member 30. Thus, it is possible to restrain hysteresis caused between rising and lowering of the valve member 30. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, there is a flow control valve that adjusts the flow rate by moving a valve body up and down and moving a needle valve provided at the tip of the valve body to and away from a valve seat of a casing. In such a flow control valve, a movement transmission mechanism is used in which a screw hole (female screw) is provided on the casing side, and a male screw that can be screwed into the screw hole is provided on the valve body side. When the valve body screwed into the casing is rotated, the valve body is moved up and down by the screw feeding action of the screw hole and the male screw.

Even so, a so-called hysteresis occurs in which the height position of the needle valve is shifted. For this reason, there existed a problem that control of flow volume became difficult.
Even if the screw feeding action as described above is not used, a clearance provided along the axial direction of the vertical movement due to a dimensional error or the like (so-called clearance) (so-called so-called clearance) The possession of “play”) makes it difficult to control the flow rate due to the hysteresis as described above.

本発明の一実施形態を図1ないし図7によって説明する。
本実施形態の流量制御弁10は、図示しない上流側配管と下流側配管との間に接続されて流体の通過量を調整するものであり、ケーシング20に対して弁部材30と弁座部材40とを組付けてなるものである。
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The flow control valve 10 of the present embodiment is connected between an upstream pipe and a downstream pipe (not shown) to adjust the amount of fluid that passes through the valve 20 and the valve seat member 40 with respect to the casing 20. Is assembled.

ケーシング20は弁部材装着孔21と弁座部材装着孔22とが上下方向に貫通形成されると共に、ケーシング20の側面から穿孔されて弁部材装着孔21に通じる上流側配管接続孔23とケーシング20の側面において前記上流側配管接続孔23とは反対側から穿孔されて弁座部材装着孔22に通じる下流側配管接続孔24とが形成されている。
また、弁部材装着孔21は、後述のナット部材25が嵌入される機構室21Aとニードル部35が嵌入される弁収容室21Bとからなっている。
In the casing 20, a valve member mounting hole 21 and a valve seat member mounting hole 22 are formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction, and an upstream side pipe connection hole 23 and a casing 20 that are drilled from the side surface of the casing 20 and communicate with the valve member mounting hole 21. On the other side, a downstream side pipe connection hole 24 that is drilled from the side opposite to the upstream side pipe connection hole 23 and communicates with the valve seat member mounting hole 22 is formed.
The valve member mounting hole 21 includes a mechanism chamber 21A in which a nut member 25 (to be described later) is inserted and a valve storage chamber 21B in which the needle portion 35 is inserted.

弁部材30は駆動装置Mによって回動及び軸方向(図1の上下方向)に沿って移動可能となる回動部31と、回動部31からは軸方向に沿った押圧力のみを受ける受部32と、受部32からの押圧を受けてケーシング20に組み付けられた弁座部材40の開閉量の調整を行うニードル部35とから構成される。   The valve member 30 is rotated by the driving device M and can be moved along the axial direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1), and the rotary member 31 receives only a pressing force along the axial direction. It comprises a portion 32 and a needle portion 35 that adjusts the opening / closing amount of the valve seat member 40 assembled to the casing 20 upon receiving a pressure from the receiving portion 32.

回動部31は、全体略円柱状で、上半部がその外周面にセレーションが設けられた嵌合部31Aをなす一方、駆動装置Mの駆動軸Sも、内周面に嵌合部31Aのセレーション形状に合わせた溝が上下方向に亘って形成された略円筒形状をなしていて、これらがかみ合わされることにより回動部31は、駆動軸Sと一体回転可能でかつ上下方向に移動可能となっている。
また、回動部31の下半部がその外周面に雄ねじが螺設された螺合部31Bをなす構成であり、螺合部31Bはケーシング20に固定されるナット部材25に螺合されるようになっている。ナット部材25は、内周に螺合部31Bの雄ねじと螺合可能なねじ孔(雌ねじ)が形成された略筒状をなしていると共に、水平断目がD字形状に形成されてケーシング20の機構室21A内に回転不能に固定されている。従って、回動部31が回転すると螺合部31Bはナット部材25のねじ溝に沿って上下方向に螺旋移動されることで、回動部31全体が上下動されるようになっている。
ところで、螺合部31B及びナット部材25にもうけた雄ねじ及び雌ねじはリード角を大きくした多条ねじとすることで、螺合部31Bの軸方向の荷重を受けるとその荷重方向に沿って容易に螺進或いは螺退可能となっている。本実施形態では、リード角が15度に設定されていると共に、後述の押し上げばね60からの付勢力によって螺合部31Bは上方への螺退動作が可能となっている。
その一方、駆動装置Mはブレーキ機構を備えたモータ(例えばギヤードモータ)が用いられており、駆動装置Mを停止させると駆動軸Sは回転不能に保持される。そして、回動部31は嵌合部31Aがこの駆動軸Sと嵌合されて、駆動軸Sが回転しない限り嵌合部31Aの回転が規制されるようになっており、すなわち回動部31は駆動装置Mによって回り止めされるようになっている。
尚、回動部31を螺合したナット部材25は、ケーシング20の弁部材装着孔21に挿入されてからビス止めされた蓋板26によって抜止がされるようになっている(図1参照)。
The rotating part 31 has a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole, and the upper half part forms a fitting part 31A in which serrations are provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof, while the drive shaft S of the driving device M also has a fitting part 31A on the inner peripheral face. Grooves matching the serration shape are formed in a substantially cylindrical shape formed in the vertical direction, and when these are engaged, the rotating portion 31 can rotate integrally with the drive shaft S and move in the vertical direction. It is possible.
Further, the lower half portion of the rotating portion 31 is configured to form a screwed portion 31B in which a male screw is screwed on the outer peripheral surface, and the screwed portion 31B is screwed into a nut member 25 fixed to the casing 20. It is like that. The nut member 25 has a substantially cylindrical shape in which a screw hole (female screw) that can be screwed with the male screw of the screwing portion 31B is formed on the inner periphery, and a horizontal break is formed in a D-shape to form the casing 20. The mechanism chamber 21A is fixed so as not to rotate. Therefore, when the rotating part 31 rotates, the screwing part 31B is spirally moved in the vertical direction along the thread groove of the nut member 25, so that the entire rotating part 31 is moved up and down.
By the way, the male screw and the female screw provided on the screwing portion 31B and the nut member 25 are multi-threaded screws having a large lead angle, so that when the load in the axial direction of the screwing portion 31B is received, it is easily along the load direction. It can be screwed or unscrewed. In this embodiment, the lead angle is set to 15 degrees, and the screwing portion 31B can be screwed upward by a biasing force from a push-up spring 60 described later.
On the other hand, a motor (for example, a geared motor) provided with a brake mechanism is used as the drive device M, and when the drive device M is stopped, the drive shaft S is held unrotatable. The rotating portion 31 is configured such that the fitting portion 31A is fitted with the drive shaft S and the rotation of the fitting portion 31A is restricted unless the driving shaft S rotates. Is prevented from rotating by the driving device M.
The nut member 25 screwed to the rotating portion 31 is prevented from being removed by a cover plate 26 which is screwed after being inserted into the valve member mounting hole 21 of the casing 20 (see FIG. 1). .

受部32は全体略円柱状をなすと共に、上端面中央部には、円形断面の凹部34Aが設けられ、ここには金属製のボール33が収容されている。尚、凹部34Aの開口端には、ボールを収容する前には円筒状に押え壁34Bが形成されていて、ボール33が収容された後に、この押え壁34Bがかしめられることにより、ボール33は遊転が可能な状態で抜止がなされている。従って、受部32は回転しながら下降する回動部31から押圧されると、ボール33が回転することにより回動部31からは押圧力のみを受けるため、受部32は回転せずにケーシング20の下方へ移動するようになっている。   The receiving portion 32 has a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole, and a concave portion 34A having a circular cross section is provided at the center of the upper end surface, in which a metal ball 33 is accommodated. Note that a holding wall 34B is formed in a cylindrical shape at the opening end of the recess 34A before the ball is received. After the ball 33 is received, the holding wall 34B is caulked, whereby the ball 33 is It is secured so that it can be idle. Accordingly, when the receiving portion 32 is pressed from the rotating portion 31 that descends while rotating, the ball 33 rotates, so that only the pressing force is received from the rotating portion 31, so that the receiving portion 32 does not rotate and the casing 32 does not rotate. 20 is moved downward.

受部32は、ニードル部35(詳細後述)のニードル保持部36との間にシール手段(ベロフラム50)を挟み込んでいる。
ベロフラム50は、外周縁部が肉厚となってナット部材25の下端とケーシング20との間で圧縮状態で挟み付けられている。また、この肉厚部分より内周側は薄膜状となっており、機構室21Aと弁収容室21Bとを水密状態で区画することができる。さらに、この薄膜部分は受部32の外周部に十分な弛みが保有されていて、受部32の上下動に追従した変位が許容されるようになっている。
一方、ニードル保持部36の上端面には上面凹部36Aが凹設されていて、ベロフラム50と共に受部32の下端部が嵌め込まれている。
そして、ニードル保持部36は、その下端側に配された後述する押し上げばね(付勢手段)60の付勢力によって、ベロフラム50及び受部32と分離しないよう、一体的な関係(連動可能な関係)が保たれるようになっている。
The receiving portion 32 sandwiches a sealing means (Bellofram 50) between a needle holding portion 36 of a needle portion 35 (details will be described later).
The belofram 50 is sandwiched in a compressed state between the lower end of the nut member 25 and the casing 20 with the outer peripheral edge portion being thick. Further, the inner peripheral side of the thick portion is a thin film, and the mechanism chamber 21A and the valve storage chamber 21B can be partitioned in a watertight state. Further, the thin film portion has sufficient slackness in the outer peripheral portion of the receiving portion 32 so that displacement following the vertical movement of the receiving portion 32 is allowed.
On the other hand, an upper surface concave portion 36 </ b> A is formed in the upper end surface of the needle holding portion 36, and the lower end portion of the receiving portion 32 is fitted together with the bellophram 50.
The needle holding portion 36 is integrated with the bellowram 50 and the receiving portion 32 so that the needle holding portion 36 is not separated from the bellowram 50 and the receiving portion 32 by a biasing force of a later-described push-up spring (biasing means) 60 disposed on the lower end side. ) Is maintained.

ニードル部35は、ニードル保持部36内にニードル弁37を組付けて構成される。
ニードル保持部36は上部側を閉じた円筒形状をなし、内部が下方へ向けて開口する収容部36Bとなっていて、収容部36Bはその内部にニードル弁37を収容可能となっている。
ニードル弁37は、先端部に針状の弁部37Aが形成され、弁部37Aの上方には中央やや上方にフランジ37Cを備えた円柱状部37Bが連なる形状となっている。ニードル保持部36内には衝撃吸収用即ちニードル弁37が弁座41Aに突き当てられたときの衝撃を吸収するためのニードルバネ38が収容されている。ニードルバネ38はフランジ37Cとニードル保持部36の奥壁との間に介在されていて、ニードル弁37を下方へ付勢している。
尚、ニードル保持部36はニードル弁37を収容後、中央にニードル弁37の挿通孔39Aが穿設された抑板39でもって閉じられ、ニードル弁37の抜止がなされるようになっている。具体的には、抑板39はニードル保持部の下端面から下方に延出形成された円筒状の先端縁をかしめ付けることによって固着されるようになっている。
The needle part 35 is configured by assembling a needle valve 37 in the needle holding part 36.
The needle holding portion 36 has a cylindrical shape with the upper side closed, and has an accommodating portion 36B that opens downward, and the accommodating portion 36B can accommodate a needle valve 37 therein.
The needle valve 37 is formed with a needle-like valve portion 37A at the tip, and a cylindrical portion 37B having a flange 37C slightly above the center above the valve portion 37A. The needle holding portion 36 accommodates a needle spring 38 for absorbing an impact, that is, for absorbing an impact when the needle valve 37 is abutted against the valve seat 41A. The needle spring 38 is interposed between the flange 37C and the back wall of the needle holding portion 36, and urges the needle valve 37 downward.
After the needle valve 37 is accommodated, the needle holding portion 36 is closed by a restraining plate 39 having an insertion hole 39A of the needle valve 37 formed in the center, and the needle valve 37 is prevented from being pulled out. Specifically, the restraining plate 39 is fixed by caulking a cylindrical tip edge that extends downward from the lower end surface of the needle holding portion.

また、ニードル保持部36の断面形状は、図5に示すように四隅が面取りされた形状となっていると共に、ケーシング20の弁収容室21Bのうちニードル部35が収容される箇所の断面形状は図5の左右両面をニードル保持部36の面取り形状に合わせて内周側に突出させた平面部分が設けられているので、ニードル保持部36はケーシング20内で回転不能でかつ上下動のみ許容された状態で収容される。   Further, the cross-sectional shape of the needle holding portion 36 is a shape in which the four corners are chamfered as shown in FIG. 5, and the cross-sectional shape of the portion where the needle portion 35 is accommodated in the valve accommodating chamber 21 </ b> B of the casing 20 is 5 is provided with a planar portion that protrudes toward the inner peripheral side in accordance with the chamfered shape of the needle holding portion 36, the needle holding portion 36 is not rotatable in the casing 20 and only allowed to move up and down. It is housed in the state.

弁座部材40はケーシング20への取付のための支持部42とその上部側に連設された円筒部41とからなっている。
支持部42は弁座部材装着孔22に対しシール用のOリング46を介して挿入されると共に、下端部に形成されたねじ部にロックナット45を締め込むことによって弁座部材40全体の固定がなされている。
また、円筒部41の上端から軸心に沿って支持部42に至るまでの所定深さ範囲に亘り、軸孔41Mが穿孔されている。さらに、円筒部41は支持部42より小径に形成されていて、支持部42との境界部周りには下流側配管接続孔24に連通する下部連通空間24Aが環状に形成されている。これによって円筒部41において等間隔毎に貫通して形成された4つの挿通孔部44を介して、下部連通空間24Aと軸孔41Mとがそれぞれ連通される。
また、円筒部41において挿通孔部44より上部側には案内管部43が形成されている。ケーシング20における案内管部43の外周には上流側配管接続孔23に連通する上部連通空間23Aが環状に設けられており、これによって、案内管部43において等間隔毎に貫通して形成された4つの貫孔43Aを介して上部連結孔空間23Aとが連通している。
The valve seat member 40 is composed of a support portion 42 for attachment to the casing 20 and a cylindrical portion 41 connected to the upper portion thereof.
The support portion 42 is inserted into the valve seat member mounting hole 22 via a sealing O-ring 46, and the lock seat 45 is fastened to a screw portion formed at the lower end portion to fix the valve seat member 40 as a whole. Has been made.
Further, a shaft hole 41M is drilled over a predetermined depth range from the upper end of the cylindrical portion 41 to the support portion 42 along the axis. Further, the cylindrical portion 41 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the support portion 42, and a lower communication space 24 </ b> A communicating with the downstream side pipe connection hole 24 is formed in an annular shape around the boundary portion with the support portion 42. Accordingly, the lower communication space 24A and the shaft hole 41M are communicated with each other through the four insertion hole portions 44 formed so as to penetrate the cylindrical portion 41 at equal intervals.
In addition, a guide tube portion 43 is formed on the cylindrical portion 41 above the insertion hole portion 44. An upper communication space 23 </ b> A communicating with the upstream side pipe connection hole 23 is annularly provided on the outer periphery of the guide pipe portion 43 in the casing 20, and thereby, the guide pipe portion 43 is formed to penetrate at equal intervals. The upper connecting hole space 23A communicates with the four through holes 43A.

ところで、軸孔41Mの上端からはニードル弁37が同心で挿入されている。そして、案内管部43はニードル弁37の円柱状部37Bがほぼ隙間なく挿入可能に形成され、このことによって、ニードル弁37の昇降動作がガイドされるようになっている。
また、軸孔41Mは貫孔43Aの下端部側に設けられた環状の段差面41Aによって径が大小変化している。ここには、ニードル弁37の弁部37Aが挿入されるようになっており、ニードル弁37の昇降動作がなされると、弁部37Aと段差面46との間の環状の隙間の面積が変化する。即ち、上記した段差面41Aがニードル弁37の弁座41Aを構成することになり、ニードル弁37の昇降により、弁部37Aは弁座41Aの円周面と密着する状態と径方向内側へ所定間隔だけ離れた状態との間を変位して流体流量を制御する。
Incidentally, the needle valve 37 is inserted concentrically from the upper end of the shaft hole 41M. The guide tube portion 43 is formed so that the columnar portion 37B of the needle valve 37 can be inserted with almost no gap, and thereby, the raising and lowering operation of the needle valve 37 is guided.
Further, the diameter of the shaft hole 41M is changed by the annular step surface 41A provided on the lower end side of the through hole 43A. Here, the valve portion 37A of the needle valve 37 is inserted, and when the needle valve 37 is moved up and down, the area of the annular gap between the valve portion 37A and the step surface 46 changes. To do. That is, the above-described stepped surface 41A constitutes the valve seat 41A of the needle valve 37, and by raising and lowering the needle valve 37, the valve portion 37A is in close contact with the circumferential surface of the valve seat 41A and is radially inward. The fluid flow rate is controlled by displacing between the states separated by an interval.

ここで、前述したように、螺合部31Bとナット部材25とはねじによる嵌め合いがなされている。
具体的には螺合部31Bの外周面に雄ねじが形成され、ナット部材25の内周面に雌ねじが形成されているが、厳密には雄ねじと雌ねじとの間には軸方向(上下方向)にクリアランスが保有されている。一方螺合部31Bには、ニードル保持部36、ベロフラム50、受部32及びボール33を介して押し上げばね60の付勢力が作用している。
このため、螺合部31Bは常に上方へ押し上げられた状態に付勢されていることから、上記した雌雄のねじ間では下側にクリアランス(図7中符号Cにて示す箇所)を保有し、上側が密着した状態に常に保持される(図7参照)。また、螺合部31Bのねじ込み方向(図7中矢印Pにて示す方向)に関してみれば、雄ねじのねじ込み方向の前面側が当接した状態となり、ねじ込み方向後面側にクリアランスを保有することとなる。さらに、螺合部31Bに上方への付勢力が作用すると螺合部31Bは上方への螺退動作を行うようになっているが、回動部31の嵌合部31Aは駆動装置Mの駆動軸Sによって回り止めされていて、嵌合部31Aのセレーションは、図8に示すように駆動軸Sの図示Qの方向(螺合部31Bを螺進動作させるための回転方向)側の面が当接した状態に常に保持される。従って、駆動装置Mの正逆転による螺合部31Bの螺進・螺退のいずれの動作時においても、雌雄ねじ同士上下の位置関係は常に一定となる。
このことが、ひいては、駆動装置Mの正逆転に伴なってニードル弁37の昇降動作にヒステリシスを生じさせない結果を生む。
Here, as described above, the screwing portion 31B and the nut member 25 are fitted with screws.
Specifically, a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded portion 31B, and a female screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the nut member 25. Strictly speaking, an axial direction (vertical direction) is provided between the male screw and the female screw. Clearance is held. On the other hand, the urging force of the push-up spring 60 acts on the threaded portion 31 </ b> B via the needle holding portion 36, the bellophram 50, the receiving portion 32, and the ball 33.
For this reason, since the screwing portion 31B is always urged to be pushed upward, it has a clearance (a portion indicated by symbol C in FIG. 7) on the lower side between the male and female screws. The upper side is always held in close contact (see FIG. 7). Further, regarding the screwing direction of the screwing portion 31B (the direction indicated by the arrow P in FIG. 7), the front side in the screwing direction of the male screw is in contact, and clearance is retained on the rear side in the screwing direction. Further, when an upward urging force is applied to the screwing part 31B, the screwing part 31B performs an upward screwing operation, but the fitting part 31A of the rotating part 31 is driven by the driving device M. As shown in FIG. 8, the serration of the fitting portion 31A is prevented from rotating by the shaft S, and the surface of the drive shaft S in the direction Q (rotation direction for screwing the screwing portion 31B) as shown in FIG. Always kept in contact. Accordingly, the upper and lower positional relationship between the male and female screws is always constant in both the screwing and screwing operations of the screwing portion 31B by forward and reverse rotation of the driving device M.
This in turn results in no hysteresis in the ascending / descending operation of the needle valve 37 with the forward / reverse rotation of the driving device M.

続いて、本実施形態の流量制御弁10の動作について説明する。
図1に示す状態から駆動装置Mの駆動軸Sを正転させると、回動部30が駆動軸Sと共に正転し螺合部31Bの螺進動作によって回動部30が下方へ移動する。すると、回動部30の下方への押圧力がボール33、受部32、ベロフラム50及びニードル部35へ伝達することで弁部材30全体が下降する。そして、ニードル弁37の弁部37Aが弁座へ当接するまで、弁部材を下降させる(図4参照)。このとき、弁部材30が最下端の位置にあって、ニードル弁37の弁部37Aが円筒部41の弁座41Aに当接した状態では、上流側から下流側への流体の通過は不能となっており、この状態が「閉弁状態」である。尚、本実施形態の流量制御弁10では、ニードル弁37が円筒部41に当接した状態でも、ニードルバネ38の弾性により上方への移動が可能であるので、ニードル弁37の弁部37Aが円筒部41の弁座41Aに当接して機械的にロックしてしまう、いわゆるメカニカルロックの回避が可能となっている。
一方、閉弁状態から駆動装置Mの駆動軸Sを逆転させると、回動部31が駆動軸Sと共に逆転し螺合部31Bの螺退動作によって回動部30が上方へ移動する。すると、押し上げばね60が上方への付勢力をニードル部35に作用させ、ニードル部35と受部31との間でベロフラム50を挟み込んだ状態を保持したまま弁部材30は一体となって上昇する。弁部材30が上昇すると、ニードル弁37の弁部37Aと弁座41Aとの間に隙間が生じて流体が上流側から下流側へ通過可能となる(このときの状態を「開弁状態」という)。
Then, operation | movement of the flow control valve 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
When the drive shaft S of the drive device M is rotated forward from the state shown in FIG. 1, the rotating portion 30 rotates forward together with the drive shaft S, and the rotating portion 30 moves downward by the screwing operation of the screwing portion 31B. Then, the downward pressing force of the rotating portion 30 is transmitted to the ball 33, the receiving portion 32, the bellowram 50, and the needle portion 35, so that the entire valve member 30 is lowered. Then, the valve member is lowered until the valve portion 37A of the needle valve 37 contacts the valve seat (see FIG. 4). At this time, when the valve member 30 is at the lowermost position and the valve portion 37A of the needle valve 37 is in contact with the valve seat 41A of the cylindrical portion 41, fluid cannot be passed from the upstream side to the downstream side. This state is the “valve closed state”. In the flow control valve 10 of the present embodiment, the needle valve 37 can be moved upward by the elasticity of the needle spring 38 even when the needle valve 37 is in contact with the cylindrical portion 41, so that the valve portion 37A of the needle valve 37 is cylindrical. It is possible to avoid a so-called mechanical lock that comes into contact with the valve seat 41A of the portion 41 and mechanically locks.
On the other hand, when the drive shaft S of the drive device M is reversely rotated from the valve-closed state, the rotating portion 31 is reversely rotated together with the drive shaft S, and the rotating portion 30 is moved upward by the screwing operation of the screwing portion 31B. Then, the push-up spring 60 causes an upward biasing force to act on the needle portion 35, and the valve member 30 ascends integrally while maintaining the state in which the bellophram 50 is sandwiched between the needle portion 35 and the receiving portion 31. . When the valve member 30 is raised, a gap is generated between the valve portion 37A of the needle valve 37 and the valve seat 41A, and the fluid can pass from the upstream side to the downstream side (this state is referred to as an “open valve state”) ).

ここで、本実施形態の流量制御弁10では、弁部材30が上昇又は下降のいずれの場合にも、弁部材30には押し上げばね60から上方への付勢力が作用しているので、図7に示すように、螺合部31Bとナット部材25との螺合において、雄ねじの上側面(ねじ込み方向に関する前面)と雌ねじの下側面とが常に当接した状態で螺進又は螺退動作が行われ、雄ねじと雌ねじとの間では軸方向下側(ねじ込み方向に関する後面側)にのみクリアランスを保有した状態となり、軸方向上側(及びねじ込み方向に関する前面側)にはクリアランスがほぼない状態となっている。さらに、押し上げばね60から上方への付勢力が作用した螺合部31Bは上方への螺退動作を行うようになっているが、駆動装置Mが回り止めとなっているので、駆動装置Mの駆動軸Sと回動部31の嵌合部31Aとのセレーションの回動方向に関する嵌合面にも図8に示すようにクリアランスがほぼない状態となる。
これにより、駆動装置Mの正転時、逆転時のいずれの場合においても、回動部31の高さ位置に差異が生じないことになり、即ち、このことが駆動装置Mの正逆転とニードル弁37の高さ位置が変化しないことを意味する。従って、弁部材30の上昇時と下降時との間に生ずるヒステリシスの抑制が可能となる。
Here, in the flow control valve 10 of the present embodiment, the upward biasing force from the push-up spring 60 acts on the valve member 30 regardless of whether the valve member 30 is raised or lowered. As shown in FIG. 4, when the screwed portion 31B and the nut member 25 are screwed, the screw threading or screwing operation is performed in a state where the upper surface of the male screw (front surface in the screwing direction) and the lower surface of the female screw are always in contact with each other. However, the clearance between the male screw and the female screw is maintained only on the lower side in the axial direction (the rear side with respect to the screwing direction), and there is almost no clearance on the upper side in the axial direction (and the front side with respect to the screwing direction). Yes. Further, the screwing portion 31B to which the upward biasing force is applied from the push-up spring 60 performs an upward screwing operation, but the drive device M is prevented from rotating, so that the drive device M As shown in FIG. 8, there is almost no clearance on the fitting surface related to the rotation direction of the serration between the drive shaft S and the fitting portion 31 </ b> A of the turning portion 31.
As a result, there is no difference in the height position of the rotating unit 31 in both cases of forward rotation and reverse rotation of the drive device M, that is, this is the forward and reverse rotation of the drive device M and the needle. This means that the height position of the valve 37 does not change. Therefore, it is possible to suppress hysteresis that occurs between when the valve member 30 is raised and when it is lowered.

さらに、本実施形態では、弁座部材40がケーシング20の弁座部材装着孔22に対して螺合された構成となっており、弁座部材40が弁座部材装着孔22内において、螺進或いは螺退させることで、弁座部材40が軸方向に沿って上下動可能となっている。これにより、弁座部材40の高さ位置の調整ができ、弁部37Aと弁座41Aとの当接具合の微調整が可能となっている。   Further, in the present embodiment, the valve seat member 40 is screwed into the valve seat member mounting hole 22 of the casing 20, and the valve seat member 40 is screwed in the valve seat member mounting hole 22. Alternatively, the valve seat member 40 can be moved up and down along the axial direction by being screwed back. Thereby, the height position of the valve seat member 40 can be adjusted, and fine adjustment of the contact state between the valve portion 37A and the valve seat 41A is possible.
